http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/rnc-chair-blames-cnn-for-trump-rally-clashes-were-not-a-party-that-believes-in-violence/Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Monday charged that CNN was fueling violence at Donald Trumps rallies by spending too much time reporting on violent incidents at his campaign events.

But look, were not a party that believes in violence, Priebus opined. I think violence begets violence. And I think youve got to leave some of the work in the crowd up to the professionals.
...
Shouldnt we focus on that if theres violence at campaign events? Camerota pressed.
Mentioning it is fine, Priebus replied. Im questioning the 24/7 loop. ... "

I think a lot of it is anarchy, but I think more importantly this is organized chaos, Pierson explained. They are trying to create a public perception of violence to scare people away from supporting Mr. Trump.
Pierson argued that conservatism had been absent in the community since Ronald Reagan left office, giving rise to the militant left in this political [sic] correct society where its okay for them to use violence as an intimidation tactic or just yell racist or Hitler to smear someones character.
(Because George Bush and George W. Bush never happened. And accusing a politician on a regular basis of being a racist or a tyrant or a terrorist-supporter or an America-hater or the Anti-Christ himself is totally something that has never occured to conservatives.)

And that's putting it as extremely nicely as possible.
